PRESS OPINION 



" This is described as a Nature Book for boys and girls, and would make a 

 charming and welcome gift for children who are just old enough to learn about, and 

 be interested in, animals. A short account of animals and their haunts and customs 

 is given in simple straightforward language, and the profuse illustrations, both plain 

 and coloured, with which the book is furnished, help to make the subject additionally 

 clear and attractive." Sunday Times,

Each volume deals entirely with the life-story of some one animal, and is not 

 merely a collection of animal stories. It is necessary to emphasize this, as the idea 

 of the series has sometimes been misunderstood. Children who have outgrown 

 fairy-tales undoubtedly prefer this form of story to any other, and a more wholesome 

 way of stimulating their interest in the living things around them could hardly be 

 found. Though the books are designed for boys and girls of all ages, many adults 

 have been attracted by their freshness, and have found in them much that ihey did 

 not know before.
